Kudva of Dakshina Kannada District of Karnataka State, which has a unique distinction of producing many great Banks and Bankers. The business of the Bank commenced on 10th November, 1925 in a small room in the temple town of Udupi with only one employee. The Bank was then called "Canara Industrial and Banking Syndicate Ltd". The authorized capital of the Bank was Rs.1, 00,000/- and the paid-up capital was only Rs.8, 000/-. The success story of Syndicate Bank (name changed in 1964) is a story of a great institution which could build itself from small beginnings to its present stature, mainly through the concept of SERVICE TO THE COMMON MAN inspired by the dynamic and enlightened leadership provided by stalwarts like Dr. T.M.A. Pai and Mr. T.A. Pai. The Bank adopted progressive policies and innovative pro grammes under their leadership and thus became a harbinger of a model banking policy suitable not only to India, but also to all other developing countries. The progress of Syndicate Bank has been synonymous with the phase of progressive banking in India. Spanning seven decades of pioneering expertise, the Bank has created for itself a solid customer base comprising of two or three generations. Being firmly rooted in rural India and understanding the grass-root realities, the Bank's perception had vision of future India. It has been propagating innovations in Banking and also has been receptive to new ideas, without however getting uprooted from its distinctive socio-economic and cultural ethos. It has never been a conduit to syphon off the resources from rural backward areas, to strengthen the urban region.
